on the road again.

 

so. we're hittin the road tomorrow.
flyin to denver
and then:
eight days.
one large RV.
five good friends and me.
colorado, arizona, california, nevada
some of us have visited the wild wild west,
others are strangers 
but only for a short time more

we don't really have a plan
and we like it that way.
gonna see where the road takes us.
can't wait to breath in that mountain air.

we're gonna catch a throwdown show at red rocks

then hittin the road that night
shootin to see the northern rim of the grand canyon
at sunrise
or maybe noon
or sunset even?

who knows...

nonetheless
we're gonna take it all in
every single second of it.

then we'll head west to the pacific coast
probably hit another show in del mar
and head north, up the Pacific Coast Highway

we'll stop when we want to
camp when we want to
cry if we want to

two boys and
four girls
jorts
a few loafs of bread
peanut butter and jelly
a case or ten of breakfast beer and natural lite

we'll hear drake play
and willie and the boys
we'll take pictures
film video (though this could easily be a reality tv show!)
and write. i hope to write. and scribble and doodle
and interpret it all later.

we'll likely take a little slot machine stop here
if we have any money left
and there's a fantastically tacky themed RV park that we may hit up, too

there are only two things we know for sure:
1. we're going to the red rocks (hallelujah, amen)
2. we have to be back in denver in eight days.

the miles wont matter.
our dirty hair and 3 day old clothes
won't care, don't care.

we're ready.
needing a break
a breath of fresh air
a swift dose of reality and
kick in the rear

reminding us that we're young
and fortunate
for the friends & fam that we are
and have
for this pretty cool life we're leading.

understanding that we're just
one of a million
little ole me's
living in a world, a space
that i hope is too big for our eyes believe.

i'm gonna attempt to blog from the road...depending on internet accessibility
and everything else in between.

hoping to maybe just post a picture each day.
save a full recap once i've settled back in...
once the whole trip
has marinated and seems un-real again.
in the meantime, hum a willie song for us
and i'll be in touch
...on the road again.
